9. Previous calculations at the MP2/6-31G(d) level did not provide a good match for the observed frequencies (ref 9). We have improved the theoretical level to MP2/6-311+G(2df), with only minor changes in calculated frequencies and isotopic shifts. Frequencies for the S-hydroperoxysulfonium ylide 4 have also been calculated, but these do not agree with experimental values either.

62. A kinetic isotope effect for sulfone, but not sulfoxide, formation may still be possible with a S-hydroperoxysulfonium ylide as a common precursor if the sulfone formation step has a substantially larger isotope effect than the intermolecular trapping step for formation of the sulfoxide. The calculated value for the sulfone step of 2.6 would mean that the intermolecular trapping should occur essentially without an isotope effect.
